Ever had a hankerin’ to be a singin’ & dancin’ nun or priest with a country western flavor? Contact Director, Danielle Dutro, at danielledutro@cox.net or TGIS…SP’s Artistic Director, Curt Miner, at revcurt@sloucc.org for more information.

Curt Miner received his degree in theatre from Northern Arizona University and has been involved in theatre, educationally and professionally, for nearly 40 years now. He is currently Pastor of the United Church of Christ in San Luis Obispo, CA (www.sloucc.org), where he founded a theatre outreach ministry known as The God Is Still Speaking Players (check them out on Facebook). Their first production was the West Coast Premiere of a new play by Gordon Greene (one of Curt’s former theatre professors from back at NAU) entitled “The Scopes Monkey Trial: What Really Happened” in October of 2008. Curt and his wife of 34 years, Linda, worked together as Director and Music Director on a production of “Godspell” June 2009. The group presented a readers’ theatre production of Archibald MacLeish’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play “J.B.” November 2009, participated in a collaborative effort with Bent Angel Productions in a staged reading of “12 Angry Men” in February 2010, presented “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” the first 2 weekends of September 2010, embarked upon another collaborative effort with Bent Angel Productions of a staged reading of Dylan Thomas’ “Under Milk Wood” in November 2010, and presented a readers’ theatre production of “The Diary of Anne Frank” the first weekend in March. Next up is “Nunsense Jamboree” in early September. When people ask him “Why a theatre outreach ministry?” Curt tells them “I have found that theatre is sometimes able to touch a person’s heart and soul more deeply than the best crafted worship experience … that’s why.”
